Handy App
The Minnesota State Fair app worked great for me this year. I was able to favorite the shows I wanted to attend and mark the vendors I wanted to visit, which made planning easy. I especially liked that it included menu options for food vendors—it helped me decide what to try ahead of time. The map feature was also really useful for finding my way around the fairgrounds. Overall, a very helpful tool to make the most of the fair!

Can’t perform the simplest of requests
Not sure why they can’t keep it simple. All I want to do is type in what I’m looking for, respond with a few options, click on one of the options and show me where it is! What’s the issue??
Not useful
Everything links to websites and searches don't return what you expect. Filtering and smart searches aren't possible. Go use the MN on a stick app.
Bad search no map link
The food search is ridiculously inefficient. Even if you find the food you’re looking for it doesn’t say the name of the store or more importantly doesn’t map you to it. Spend some money make it functional
MN on a stick is much better.
Still not as good as the other app available.
You’ll do better with a paper map
Hard to find info
Poor functionality
App highlights “new foods” but doesn’t include the names of the vendors selling them (nor the locations of the vendors). From other reviews, this seems to be a years-long, obvious gap that has not been addressed. C’mon, developers - do better!
Not Bad
decent app, could use some mapping directions for walking.
Disappointed
I’m just opened and I’m already disappointed. On the previous shortcut I was able to favorite what I wanted to explore and then use my map for my favorites specifically. This app doesn’t have that feature and honestly seems pointless without it.
Don’t bother.
Just go get the Mn on a stick app. You’ll be happier.
Where Are The Favorites?
It's astonishing that this app doesn't allow filtering by favorites. It's like this was never tested by anyone before release.
The best state fair
SO helpful! Use it!
No favorites filter for the map?
It would be nice to be able to open the map and filter down to the food, vendors, events, exhibits that you’ve favorited, to map out a route. Thats the feature I used most on the old app.
The App the MN Great Together needed!
This app is insane!
The UI/UX of the app is so flawless, all the information regarding the MN State Fair at your fingertips!
Before going, I can plan my whole day! And even better, with options like Favorites, I can compartmentalize my interests and see if I need more than one day.
I could continue but I think you get it…
Thank you Fox 9 for sharing this app!

MN on a Stick app is better
I came across MN on a Stick app via Reddit a bit ago and prefer that app over this one. The MN on a Stick app is far more intuitive and much easier to follow. You can even favorite all your places on the map and locate them all at once!
Please incorporate favorites
Please add Favorites filter to Map. Please add Favorite flag to New Foods category. Both of these are necessary for route planning.
In the spirit of FAIR-ness
I am the person who wrote the August 1 review highly critical of this app. At that time, it was horrid. I've just taken a look at the new improved version and there is absolutely no comparison. The latest version that I downloaded today is fantastic. It has a different UI than previous versions of past years, but I find it to be useful, intuitive, and unrecognizable from the app that existed on August 1. Nice recovery, Minnesota State Fair!

Missing
Need to have the option to add favorites and be able to filter just those locations on the map like the old browser Home Screen add.
Much more on the app now
People who were complaining at the beginning of the month, need to come back now and see that there’s been updates and changes. The daily schedule is chock full (when others said it was pretty bleak), and there’s a lot of awesome lists. You can star things you want to do, and when you click on a restaurant or food booth, it’ll show you where it is! I wish I could go to the Fair this year.

No map filter for favorites
The one feature I used on the web version is missing on this new app - you can’t filter by favorites on the map to plan your route! I hope the app developers are able to update this in time for the fair, otherwise I will have to move everything over to the regular maps app.
